A Slip Dress for Summer

Motel Rocks dress (c/o) / Converse trainers / Topshop tattoo choker / Ray Ban sunglasses

Those of you who follow me on Instagram will recognise this dress from my Glastonbury festival photos where I was Motel's Festival Reporter. I chose this lovely turquoise gingham slip dress from Motel's fab summer collection to wear to the festival. And here it is in all its glory on a little outing to Versailles on one of the hottest days of the year. Slip dresses are perfect for summer thanks to their light material and loose fit and this one is no exception. Plus I love gingham so it's just win win really.

Glastonbury Festival Fashion

Here are a couple of my outfits that I managed to get snapped at Glastonbury in between the mud, rain and storms. 

Outfit 1: Vintage crop top and petticoat / Vintage bumbag / Hunter wellies / Topshop long socks

And here are some of the festival fashion snaps I took as Motel Rocks' festival reporter...

The festival fashion at Glastonbury this year was amazing and has really set the bar for the rest of the festival season. Kimonos and crochet made a big appearance and accessories such as flower crowns, tribal feathered headdresses and chokers were also very popular. Take note if you're going to any festivals during the rest of the summer!

I have found out that I am going to be Motel Rocks' Festival Reporter at Glastonbury this year! This news just makes me even more excited about my favourite event of the year! To get into spirit of style spotting and outfit creating for the festival season, I have put together a collection of my current favourite Motel items, which are perfect for the festivals!

As a Motel festival reporter I can choose an item to take and wear to Glastonbury but I'm having such a hard time choosing! I absolutely adore this bright, floral unitard and think it would look amazing among the crazy atmosphere of a festival but I'm not sure I would wear it at any other times, which makes hesitate in ordering it. What do you think?

Please let me know your favourite item or send me any links to items I may have missed on the Motel Rocks website - this indecisive fashion victim needs help!!

A Slip Dress

So, what do you think of my new hair? I thought it was time to chop off the blond and go short for summer. I'm really pleased with it, except that admittedly it is a bit wonky because, in a bid to save money, I went to a trainee hairdresser who was just terrible - at least I know not to make that mistake again!

On to the outfit, I am all over slip dresses this season. I actually bought this little gem for €2 in winter at my shop and I have been dying to wear it ever since. And now this is my favourite outfit. I love the simple and casual cut of slip dresses and I love the not over bearing floral pattern on this one.

Alors, qu’est-ce vous pensez de ma nouvelle coupe ?! J’ai pensé que c’était le moment pour couper la blonde et avoir une coupe courte pour l’été ! Je l’aime bien sauf le fait qu’elle n’est pas complètement droite car, pour économiser d’argent, je suis allée à un coiffeur stagiaire qui était terrible ! Au moins que je sais que je n’irai jamais encore !

On parle de ce look. Je kif trop des robes à bretelles pour cette saison. En fait, j’ai acheté cette petite perle pour €2 en hiver chez Kilo Shop et depuis ce moment, j’avais envie de la porter. Maintenant, ce look est mon favori. J’aime bien la coupe simple et décontracté des robes à bretelles et je kif le motif fleuri modeste sur celle-là.  

Bisous, Izzie

Featured: Guest Post for Motel Rocks at Paris Fashion Week

As well as attending Paris Fashion Week for my own fun, I was also reporting for one of my favourite British brands and former employer, Motel Rocks. I sent street style images, which appeared on their Instagram and wrote a guest post for their blog which you can check out here.

Paris Fashion Week - What I Wore

Vintage coat / Vintage skirt / eBay top / Vintage hat / Doc Martens / Boutique backpack

(All vintage from Kilo Shop)

Today I headed to a few Paris Fashion Week shows and for my outfit I mixed Winter and Spring colours. I wore matching burgundy Doc Martens and hat with my pastel mint green coat and a peach coloured skirt. Yes, the skirt is actually a petticoat I guess but I'm channelling the underwear as outerwear vibe and I think it works. What do you think?

I was super jealous of all the LFW blog posts that I have read recently so I'm glad I can report from the Fashion Week of my adoptive home city! I spent the day taking street style snaps for Motel Rocks and attended the Issey Miyake show, which was amazing! Look out for blog posts on these soon!

Aujourd’hui je suis allée aux défilés de Paris Fashion Week et j’ai mélangé des couleurs d’hiver et de printemps pour mon look. J’ai porté des bottes Doc Martens et un chapeau bordeaux coordonné avec mon manteau vert pastel et une jupe couleur pêche. Oui, j’imagine que la jupe est, en fait, un jupon mais c’est la philosophie des dessous qui se portent dessus et je pense que cela marche. Que pensez-vous ?

J’étais tellement jalouse de tous les articles de blog sur London Fashion Week que j’ai lu récemment que je suis ravie de faire des reportages de Fashion Week de ma ville adoptive ! J’ai pris des photos ‘street style’ pour Motel Rocks and je suis allée au défilé Issey Miyake, qui était magnifique ! Mes autres articles de Paris Fashion Week vont arriver bientôt !

Bisous, Izzie

Pretty Print Dress

Dress - Motel / Creepers - eBay / Frill socks - eBay / Necklace - vintage

This gorgeous dress is from Motel, who have some great prints at the moment, which will be perfect for brightening up the darker British evenings to come! As soon as I saw this print on Motel's website I knew I had to have it. It was difficult choosing between buying the dress, kimono or playsuit but I went for the dress in the end. I love the oriental style of the print and being a smock dress, it is so comfortable! I'm loving the frilly sock with creepers look at the moment and I think this goes perfectly with the dress. What do you think?
